Longitudinal prediction of stunting and wasting based on time-lagged wasting and stunting1
| Stunting | Wasting | |
|---|---|---|
| Baseline odds | 0.012 (0.010, 0.016) | 0.013 (0.010, 0.016) |
| Sex (boy) | 1.6 (1.3, 1.9) | 1.5 (1.2, 1.8) |
| Age (lagged) | 1.1 (1.1, 1.1) | 1.0 (1.0, 1.0) |
| Stunting (lagged) | 8.2 (7.2, 9.4) | 1.5 (1.3, 1.7) |
| Wasting (lagged) | 3.2 (2.7, 3.9) | 2.9 (2.5, 3.4) |

Values are ORs (95% CIs), based on multilevel logistic regression, n = 3867 participants, 28,403 visits. Wasting is predictive of stunting 3 mo later, even after accounting for current stunting. Stunting is also predictive of wasting 3 mo later.
